Ingredients

• 2 large (about 1.5 pounds) sweet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon (optional) lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish (8x8 inches or similar in size).

Step 2

Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into large chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.

Step 3

Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork until smooth.

Step 4

Add the unsalted butter to the mashed sweet potatoes while they are still warm. Stir until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.

Step 5

Mix in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir until smooth.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour this mixture into the sweet potato mash and stir until fully combined.

Step 7

Sprinkle the flour evenly over the mixture and optional lemon zest (if using). Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and slightly golden on top.

Step 10

Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature!
